Schramm's 20% sale with free shipping over $150 got my ass
"Endless Cranberry Pie"
This luxurious honey's natural flavors were amplified with vanilla beans to tame the cranberries' wild tempest of tartness. Light cinnamon and an extended 8 months in a new French oak barrel weave an extra dimension of flavors into the heart of this liquid dessert.
I never think to myself “I could go for Black Agnes right now” because my brain goes to how bracingly sweet and acidic fresh BA is. This bottle of B2, at a decade old, is fucking perfect. It was already a great batch back when it was fresh, second only to B4. But fuck me sideways, I will happily drink this whole bottle myself in one sitting today. Fear is still not 100% and while he took a small pour, my plan to have a glass with dinner and cork the rest for tomorrow is gone. This is all going tonight. It’s so good, cheers!
Once again I am packing Garagiste bottles for the OTWO Weekend bottle share.
HEather b3 just hanging out at half price on the Schramms website for powerhour. $32, can't beat that. they've suspended fees for waiting for shipping for the powerhour as well.
Schramm’s is doing a pour hour til the top of the next hour. Enjoy
EDIT: Nary a second later.

Zymarium coquito mead
I want to slam this, how was it?
Zymarium coquito mead
I was about to say no, but I, in fact, do know who just had a 6th anniversary and figured out what bottle it was in 10 seconds. Still got it.
It was pretty good. The finish reminds it's still mead but overall had good body and coquito flavors
Remember when B Nektar bottled in blue glass?
So this is still great.
Do they still make that barrel aged traditional that has the Star Wars reference on it? That was great. I don’t see much from them on the shelves these days.

Episode 13? Pretty sure they do. That and Zombie Killer are their best sellers.
How did this years turn out? Torn between buying and having it shipped or going down to try it. I've really enjoyed the other fortified ones they have done in the past.
I liked it even more than last year’s variants – super complex and not as sugary. But, since I’m a local I can just buy a taster instead of a whole bottle.

Just looked and the cost of shipping is more that if I just drove down there. To Mexico (I mean Lost Cause) I go! Looking forward to trying it.
